parking meters to take credit in debit cards but right now they have multi- space kiosks. the city council will talk about that next week. right now we will talk about traffic. what is going on for the commute, sal? well, dave, pam, usually we have a lot going on with the commute westbound bay bridge, you can see traffic is getting a little bit busy in some of those cash lanes over to the far left-hand side of the plaza and otherwise we are still looking good, no major problems getting into the city and usually they turn on the metering lights and that will change things. this is northbound and southbound 880 and that traffic is moving along nicely. by the way, interstate 880 is looking good and still clearing a crash and it has been moved to the shoulder. let's go to steve. , well, a good morning and is a very cool morning, on the

backside of mt. diablo. 39 miles per hour out of the west and two days ago it was out of the northeast and temperatures will take a tumble. it was oh who shallow -- oh so shallow and it's up around 3,000 feet flying in the coastal hills and although it is lifting so parts of the south bay will clear. livermore from 76 will drop to 60s and 70s. san jose, is going to be a soft 70. fairfield, a lot of 50s, a couple of 60s but mainly 50s and up in the north bay, westerly breeze, livermore 14 mile-per-hour winds and that's a rather pronounced sea breeze, low clouds and fog at their max and they will get squashed tomorrow.

on counterterrorism. some republican senators believe that attack could have been prevented, kyla? >> reporter: two senators are demanding a hearing to figure out why intelligence agencies may not have is shared all of the information they had on the suspect killed in last week's shootout. at some point they determined he was not a risk and homeland security put him on a specific watch list but that request was ignored. john mccain said the intelligence community did not follow orders mandated by 9/11 commission to share information and keep tabs on somebody with ties to a hostile region of russia. one of the house democrats said otherwise. >> some say the fbi dropped the ball or the agencies were not talking to each other but that does not seem to be the case. >> reporter: 45 minutes from now, they will hold a hearing

cloudy, san francisco cloudy, patchy low fog with a sea breeze in place anywhere from 50 to 40 miles per hour. this will be the coolest day with 50s, 60s and 70s, and i don't think these temperatures will go do too much -- will do too much. 50s and 60s, low in southern california helped to enhance our fog bank and breezy and windy at times, some of the higher elevations are out to the delta, north bay may take a little bit and we have a pretty big fog bank, lower 70s for many. overall temperatures have really taken a tumble since monday and it does look warmer inland as we head to sunday and monday. the market opens in just about 10 minutes, keep an eye on the stock and they beat wall
